I get a lot of appointments via email from friends, family, contractors, doctors, etc. They come in as .ics files, but the default app is outlook. When I try to change the default in Windows Settings, the only choice I am given is to keep outlook as the default or search the Store for a new app.

Using Thunderbird ver. 78.6.

Save the .ics attachment to disk. Then from the main menu bar: Events and Tasks > Import > select ics file and click on 'Open' import ics into Event and make sure importing into Home/local calendar.

Thanks! I was trying to import under the "tools" menu, and it kept defaulting to mail only. Because of your reply, I checked under the "Events and Tasks" menu, and found the proper way.
